WHEREAS, the Roseville City Council at their meeting of March 26,2001, was presented with the project report from the Roseville staff, a presentation by the developer, and took public comment on the application for comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning to allow the proposed 18 unit apartment complex; and WHEREAS, upon consideration of the staff and developer presentations and citizen comments the City Council voted (4-1) to approve the comprehensive land use amendment based on the following findings: A. The vacant parcel has limited ability to be developed given the pond, easements, and setbacks applicable to a specific zoning district. B. The change in comprehensive plan designation and zoning classification fit well into the adjoining neighborhood. Specifically, multiple family districts are usually considered transitional zones between single family detached residential areas and commercially zoned property. This allows the multi-family residents better access to commercial areas and reduces the amount of multi-family cut-through traffic which travels through a R-l area to the commercial areas and community collector streets. In the Cave proposal, single family residentially zoned property lies directly west and commercially zoned property lies directly east. The parcel has direct access to a County community collector street (B-2) and is within 800 feet of a minor arterial street (Rice Street). C. Though the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation of this property is Business, the parcel, as a remnant, would be difficult to develop as a commercial property because of coverage, parking requirements, and compatibility with adjoining residential neighbors. D. The 18-unit apartment complex is consistent with the R-3A multi-family district and the city life-cycle housing programs. E. Traffic generated from development (6 to 8 trips per unit times18 units) is estimated to range from 104 to 144 trips per day and does not create vehicular conflict with existing traffic patterns, nor adversely impact the adjacent residential community. F. The proposal is consistent with Little Canada Rice Street Plan. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council, based on the findings listed above, hereby approves and adopts the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan from B (Business) to HD (High Density Residential) for property located at 197 County Rose B-2, subject to: 1. Review and comments of the Metropolitan Council. 2. Passage and publication of an ordinance properly rezoning of the subject parcel. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded by Member Mastel and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Klausing, Mastel, Goedeke, and Kysylyczyn and the following voted against the same: Maschka WHEREUPON said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
